How Scared Must Hillary Be?
It’s nice when we can keep getting others to do our dirty work, isn’t it? BET founder Bob Johnson (also a strong Clinton supporter), has recently made comments that Obama wouldn’t be worth noticing if he were White. Apparently, the first female candidate for the Presidency is not worth remarking on (otherwise we’d be sexist) but Obama’s half-black background is fair game in the battlefield of politics-by-proxy.
After firing Geraldine Ferraro for making racist comments about the sucess of Barack Obama’s campaign, Hillary, once again, has pawns lined up to spread animosity and take flack on her behalf. Fantastic.
Why doesn’t she accept that the debate now (or, at least, the debate following McCain’s appearance on Hardball) is all seen in an McCain vs. Obama paradigm? She’s already being phased out. It’s somewhere between sad and short-sighted that Hillary is unable to realize her own 3rd place standing here.
Her desperation can only be explained in one way: She’s got debts owed. Politics, and political favors, don’t come cheap.
